I did an estimate of this effect a fair while ago via the
addition of some extra timing code to a processor. If I
recall correctly my conclusion was there was on average
typically only about 10% of the processing time that could
be significantly influenced by choice of runtime, be that
interpreter, virtual machine or native code.
